Lu Yichen's face turned even darker when he heard this. He looked as if he wanted to eat her up. Kang Xiaoqiao swallowed her saliva and looked out the window, not daring to speak.
Lu Yichen looked deeply at her for a few minutes, then turned his head. He quickly started the car and flew out. Kang Xiaoqiao was so scared that her face turned pale. She hurriedly gripped the handrail and her face turned pale.
Not only was she scared, but her heart ached as well. The trunk was full of her treasures. If it broke, it would be--
If it broke, where would she get it? Kang Xiaoqiao wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was not easy for her to get home. Kang Xiaoqiao got out of the car without saying a word and ran straight to the trunk. When she opened it, her tears instantly fell. A few of the utensils were broken.
Kang Xiaoqiao gently took them out and shed tears. Was it easy for her to get something? In this broken society, everything had to be supplied, and special items could not be bought.
She had had enough of being despised even when she went to buy something. She had had enough.
To be honest, it was not that Kang Xiaoqiao was being unreasonable. Everyone had their own stubbornness. For example, a swordsman loved the sword in his hand. Even if the sword was there, the person would die.
For example, a sniper had to wipe his beloved gun repeatedly every day. A housewife who loved to cook loved her pots and pans. Kang Xiaoqiao deeply cherished her tools. Now, so many of them had been destroyed by Lu Yichen... Why wouldn't she be sad?
Kang Xiaoqiao took out the broken glass bit by bit. She accidentally cut her hand. The fresh blood was so obvious in the pure white glass.
Lu Yichen couldn't help but frown when he saw it. His heart also felt depressed. Then, he took a step forward and said, "I'll help you."
Kang Xiaoqiao, who had always been listless and mischievous, expressed her anger for the first time. She didn't fly into a rage or yell. Instead, her voice was cold and unquestionable. "I don't need you."
After saying that, she did not even look at him and left with the box. How could Lu Yichen let her go like that? Hence, he grabbed her arm and said, "Your hand is bleeding."
Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes were red. She looked at Lu Yichen coldly and said emotionlessly, "It's none of your business. Get out of the way."
After saying that, she did not care about anything else and rushed forward. Lu Yichen was afraid that he would hurt her hand again, so he could not dodge to the side. Then, he frowned as he watched Kang Xiaoqiao leave. Her back was slim, and a gust of wind seemed to be able to blow her away, but... Her back was so determined that it moved people.
The nanny saw the car enter the courtyard and quickly opened the door. Kang Xiaoqiao wiped her tears as soon as she entered the house, but her aunt, Liu Fengxia, still saw it.
She said gently, "Xiaoqiao, you're back. Eh, what are these?"
Kang Xiaoqiao forced a smile and said, "Hello, aunt. These are some tools. I'll go upstairs first."
Liu Fengxia still smiled warmly and said, "Go, go. You're tired after walking all morning. Take a rest upstairs. When lunch is ready, I'll get someone to call you."
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Thank you, aunt."
After saying that, she went upstairs. After a while, Lu Yichen also entered the house. Aunt Liu Fengxia hurriedly asked, "Chenchen, what's wrong? Why do I see that Xiaoqiao is unhappy?"
"Are you bullying her? This girl needs to be coaxed. She's still a little girl. What's wrong with her? You can teach her slowly. You can't scold her with a straight face."
"This daughter-in-law is different from the soldiers under you in the army. You can't scold her."
While they were talking, the nanny had already brought the tea over. Lu Yichen took the tea and said, "I know, first aunt. Where are second cousin and the others?"
When Liu Fengxia heard this, she immediately said, "They're all in the study. Your uncle was looking for you just now."
Lu Yichen nodded. "Okay, I'll go over first."
Liu Fengxia looked at the two children who had gone out in the morning and were still happy. Why did they come back? All of them had stern expressions. It was probably because the couple had quarreled.
Then, after thinking for a while, she called her granddaughter, Xia Yunshu, over. "Go, go and see what happened to your youngest aunt."
Xia Yunshu said very cleverly, "I understand, grandma. I'll go now."
...
After Kang Xiaoqiao entered the house, she placed her things on the stool and sat there in a daze, her heart filled with anger.
Wasn't it just to borrow a little help? Wasn't it just to ask you for a favor? Was there a need to be so stingy?
If she had connections, would she still need to beg you?
The more Kang Xiaoqiao thought about it, the angrier and sadder she became. She knew that she had made a mistake and was punished to this lousy era. She also admitted it. As long as she was alive, she was already very happy.
But, but, today's matter really made her angry. What kind of stupid matter was this? She was always being controlled by others. Was that still her, Kang Xiaoqiao?
She thought of the two salespeople in front of her. They did not show her the watch, and their faces were not red. She thought of the watch not only asking for a receipt, but also 300 yuan in cash, 300 yuan--
To be honest, in her previous life, the price of a pot of tea would have been more expensive than this. But now, a penny was enough to make a hero fall. She did not have a total of 300 yuan in her hands.
Kang Xiaoqiao knew what it was like to have no money. Because she didn't have money, she worked hard and used all her strength. She had her own business, her own company, and the world's attention.
At that time, she didn't have anything she wanted? When had she ever begged anyone? It was always people who begged her.
Thinking of this, Kang Xiaoqiao took a few deep breaths and flattened her chest. Then, she slowly adjusted herself.
Then, she clenched her fists. There was no reason that she could do it in her previous life, but not in this life.
She would definitely rise up. She would definitely become a person above others. All those who looked down on her would be trampled under her feet. She would never beg anyone in this life.
Lu Yichen, I'm sorry. I can't be the kind wife and mother that you want. I can't be the little wife that you want to stay at home every day and wait for a man to return.
If you don't want to be trampled on and looked down upon, you can only brace yourself and climb up. You can only continue to struggle. Even if you don't have the conditions, you have to create the conditions. If you meet a mountain, open a path. If you meet a river, build a bridge. I, Kang Xiaoqiao, will never admit defeat.
Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes burst with a stubborn light. She stared at the container that was dyed red by her own blood and gritted her teeth.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Kang Xiaoqiao quickly raised her head. Her pair of dark and cold eyes scared Xia Yunshu so much that she almost fell down.
When Kang Xiaoqiao saw this, she immediately retracted her gaze and said, "Yunshu, why are you here?"
Xia Yunshu's heart was still pounding. The gaze of her aunt just now was so frightening. However, when she raised her head, she did not see the sinister gaze from before. It was clearly filled with concern.
She was a little uncertain, so she smiled and said, "Oh, that. Grandma asked me to come up and see you."
Then, she said in surprise, "Eh, little aunt, what happened to your hand? Why is it bleeding?"
